Have they considered asking dealers to sell them for MSRP?

Dumb question, but aside from avoiding weather issues, wouldn’t it need to be geo-synchronous? Meaning, wouldn’t it still have night and day as it would orbit at the same speed as earth’s rotation?

I don’t understand the issue with home chargers? I have a home charger and I bought one with no extra features because any features it has already exist on the car. I can schedule charging from my car, I can check the charging level from the app, I stop/start charging from the app. Aside from quality issues (which are…

PGE is insane. I live right on the edge of their area. We moved 2 miles away to just outside their coverage. My new house was bigger, we added a fridge in the garage, and we got a pool and my power bill dropped $200 a month. SCE is also insane, just not the same bonkers level.

Yes! When I was a teenager, we would sneak out to golf courses and go snowboarding at night. Of course it isn’t even close to the same experience but it was still the best way to get kicked off a golf course in the middle of winter! (also better than actually playing golf) 

It’s always a camry.

The range extenders can be finicky on some years of the i3.

Same!

Do you think Tesla’s market share continues to decrease as rapidly once the new incentives kick in? Currently they are not eligible but they will be in about a month. Obviously there is a lot more and a lot better competition, so I think it does continue to shrink but will it at the same rate?

I’m currently in the market for an EV. If I buy before the new year, I’m not looking at a Tesla. If I buy after the new year, Teslas are in the running. This is entirely because of the changing EV rebates. Everyone but Tesla and GM are eligible now. Tesla and GM regain eligibility in two months but Hyundia and Kia…

The article doesn’t go into it but there are different levels of bidirectional charging. The F-150 is currently the only one that gets v2g (vehicle to grid) using the new standard but it can only do so using a Ford charging station. The other two levels of bidirectional charging are v2h (vehicle to home) and v2l…

If Canoo actually gets their act together (doubtful but possible), they will be starting to hit the road here in the next 6 months. That is definitely at the top of the “Great tech, cool car, terribly run company” list at the moment.

I think (emphasis on my guesses only) that we will see that level of innovation but in the production of batteries, not necessarily the battery tech itself. There’s just too much money on the table for someone not to figure out a way to make a lot of batteries fast. 

Yeah the same basic thing. I haven’t been quite as consistent but I would agree with the article in that consistency would probably improve things. We just moved into this house in April and a week or two later, I was grilling outside. I went inside to grab something and came out to see a crow snatching some carne…

We’ve been training a crow in our backyard this summer. She definitely recognizes us and will “ask” for food. We’ve named her Monicaw

My first thought was the Prius, but I believe that hybrid technology, in the grand scheme of things, will be a fairly limited stop gap solution. I obviously could be wrong, but by the end of this century, I think that people will still remember the Model S and the dawn of electric cars and have forgotten about the…

I 100% agree with you on this. When the concept for the Buzz came out, I was ready to sign up right then. But it has gotten worse looking, more boring, less range, plus VW is already infamous for their software. To me, the Canoo is more intriguing and more in line with (my own) spirit of the original VW Bus.

I…

I’m in a similar situation. But in our area the MSRP mach-e’s are so rare that I’m pretty sure I could sell it for over MSRP when the newer one comes in. Then get both tax discounts plus anything I made over MSRP.

Obviously the market could return to normalish, but I think the biggest thing preventing me from doing it…

How much of car companies ceos whining about costs is just an attempt to get additional subsidies? It feels like auto giants are trying to play the underdog card in order to get more handouts, but I could just be overly cynical.

Let’s follow out this hypothetical, but with one twist: they are in a room with no windows. No one watches the fight, no one knows what happens in the room. Who comes out, what do they say happened in there, and what actually happened?
